Wow! A comic 8D Almost as if this were a webcomic that updates every week! Thats amazing.

Anyways, stuff ensues. Did you like my transition from boring conversation into ADVENTURE? Cuz I sure did 83

Don’t ask why the bushes look so fucky, I don’t know why. Actually I do, its cuz I flattened the wrong layer and saved and couldn’t fix it in time, but there will be time for editing later… in any case, if you enjoy the comic, please vote! It will make me make more comics XD Not really, but we can pretend. This week I’m uploading fanart of other webcomics I like as the incentives, so check back daily (yes, daily, the one for today will be up in a few minutes).

As always, you can find news and discussion scattered about on Facebook, LJ and the Twitter. Thanks all for your comments and patience! And don’t forget, the comic will be updating twice a week starting next week!

Lovely as usual. However I have a suggestion: the nighttime pages would be a lot easier to read if the Spaces around the panels weren’t white. The contrast makes it easy to read the text, but hard to see the panels.

Yeah, I know XC I can’t really compromise that, since I want to maintain a consistent framing for the comic. It may also be a matter of monitor darkness, on the comp I color on everything looks relatively balanced but then on this other one I use for the internet its all really dark. I haven’t got a chance to but I’m going to print some of these out soon and check what they look like irl, then adjust from there.

watch printing stuff out to check colors too, because each printer will be different and some of them can be outrageously different. its an outrage! I don’t think it the white interrupts things too much, but then I tend to be really oblivious to things when I read comics…for me there are often not panels at all and it just streams together.

*Golf Clap* as you have earned it, though I was getting a little impatient, this comic is always worth the wait. Maybe its just me but the contrast seems fine, yeah its really dark, but its night time and I can still see everything. Also, It looks like Angora, might have, hit her head in the fourth panel? Salamander ROCKZ!

The last two panels made me laugh more than is probably necessary. Googleyed salamander is god.

Funny people are saying this looks too dark- I can make out everything on my laptop (which is darker than all my other monitors lol). And I really really like that third-to-last panel. You kept all the landmarks in mind from the previous pages (that little eroded river bank and everything) which a lot of people would miss!

And the bushes look plenty good to me, dark and not so busy that they detract from the flow and focus of the panels. And horray for starting some action!

I know I’ve already asked you some questions about how you color your pages and keep color consistent from page to page, but I really would like to see a tutorial, or even just a walkthrough on how you color, because it strikes me as more painterly and less flat compared to your already existing tutorial on how you color. Just a thought.

I’m so slow.
Today I realised that the round leaf behind Angora’s head in the chapter 1 cover is basically the angelic halos that saints have in glass windows.
That was pretty obvious.
XD
Well done with the foreshadowing, haha. (is one of your lj watchers)

Don’t worry, I’m sure to fuck up soon! Its only a matter of time until you publicly humiliate me FOREVER. And anyways I was going to do you some art when I had a chance so you really don’t have to try so hard!

So far I’m rather enjoying everything about the comic, except that it’s getting fairly obvious your policy of “unabashed nudity” only involves breasts. It’s not that I want to ogle cartoon girls and of course you’re only going to draw what you’re comfortable with, but after the tenth or twentieth shot of Angora with a hand or a plant or a leg or an angle or a panel border conveniently obstructing the view of her pubic area it kind of strains the suspension of disbelief.

As an author you should understand focusing your reader’s attentions. If I wanted to flash vag, I could have, and then people would be staring at that instead of at everything else I want them to look at. Do you really look at this comic and think I’m only drawing the boobs because I’m comfortable with them? Or because I find them personally stimulating? I’ve drawn cityscapes, jungles, old people, little kids, monsters, horses, canyons, several types of clothing, stairwells, etc… it’s really confusing that you think I’m drawing breasts because I don’t know how to draw something else. As an author you should know that authors make deliberate guiding choices and not assume that I’m incapable of deciding what’s best for my own story simply because you would have done it differently.
